I just left my Petit Bucket at the Daimaru LV store near Tokyo Station to be relined. It will cost 18,000 yen. The SA told me that because of the relining process they will have to replace some of the vachetta on the mouth of the bag but that it will not be noticeable because they will match the color of the patina. I couldn't find any recent info about prices here in Japan so I thought I'd post this. Hope it helps someone.

I was quoted around $360 for both tabs when I called a random LV store. That seemed pretty high to me! When I asked a local store in the past: I got a similar $200-$300 quote. I am not sure if this is a normal repair rate, or I am just being quoted highly. Both times I have asked, it seemed that the SA did not have a solid response and had to "find out". I kind of feel as if they are making up the numbers on the spot.
You have to bring it in and let them look at it before you can get a real quote.
Calling is useless.
PS: quotes are also up to the SA / Repair Specialist / Manager. I have gotten several "free" repairs because of my great relationship with my SA. Not everyone gets the same response. If you have several stores around, it's aways good to check with all of them. And the best way to get a free repair is to buy something on the day you bring the repair. That often works. (Or at least it did in the store I worked at!).
Good to know! I kind of assumed this was the case! I actually don't need this repair done now but was wondering how much it would be for the future. I don't want to waste anyone's time in my local store because I just wanted a general idea. Thanks for the advice!
Hi. Would anyone know how much will it cost to replace the handles and lining of a sac plat? Thanks.
The sac plat is a very popular bag for repairs, have you tried doing a search of this board in case this has already been mentioned?
Most of those I found were way back 2011/2013. I will try to visit the LV here next week and ask for a quote.
Sometimes the older posts can be helpful for a rough idea. Generally the prices for repairs go up much slower than the buying prices, so they can be handy. Please update the thread if you can find out some up to date pricesMost of those I found were way back 2011/2013. I will try to visit the LV here next week and ask for a quote.
I just had the 2 wheels replaced on my Pegasus 60 and it was $70 at the Waikiki LV store. Way less than I thought. It cost me $150 to replace my watch battery a few years ago.
me too. hehe. my husband was so happy he was like "can I pay you more?" lol I think he thought it would cost so much more.
I was hoping it would be less than $100 but my bf thought it was gonna be more like $200. We were both surprised and happy when they told us only $70 lol Either way the wheels needed to be replaced, they were damaged from our last trip.
I don't know if this is the appropriate thread but I'm thinking of purchasing a pre-loved LV monogram bag with heavily stained vachetta so I can attempt to dye it black. If it doesn't work I can throw it away...
Have any of you heard of such a thing? I love the look of Retiro Black/Mono combo but would prefer to have it on other bags.
